 Hi, let's talk about that how to open a file and read from it in Python programming language. Let's make a variable my file and let's call open function. We are going to open with this function our file from C drive, folder, files and our file will have name 50states.txt. Now our file is opened and we want to read from our file and store that content from that file in a new variable. Let's say files content equals to then we're going to call our my file variable and call upon it read method. So everything what we have inside this file is now stored here because after calling method read all text from here is stored here. And now we can just print our files content and now we have a list of 50 states that's a long list with a lot of informations. And finally, we could also just close our file with calling method close. So we're going to say my file dot close and our connection is closed. That's all in this lesson. Thanks for watching. Bye.
